Abstract:

Over the past years, the engine emission regulation has become of crucial importance and the development of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) is one of the best solutions in the market. Besides the emissions reduction, this class of vehicles has to satisfy important performances constraints. For this reason, the aim of this project is to develop a new algorithm capable of classifying the admissibility of hybrid electric vehicle layouts, which means to check if the performance index of each layout is lower than a predefined threshold. This algorithm exploits Deep Neural Network (DNNs), an artificial neural network (ANN) with multiple layers between the input and output layers. There are different types of neural networks, but they always consist of the same elements: neurons, synapses, weights, biases, and functions, used to replicate the human brains’ behaviour. This structure enables the algorithm to train and learn by itself. This admissibility classifier has been inserted into an existing pipeline, creating a new one composed of three different consecutive nets: a feasibility classifier, an admissibility classifier and a regressor of CO2. Each layout passes through this pipeline to verify if it satisfies the constraints of emissions (feasibility) and performance (admissibility) and, then, to predict its CO2 emissions. For this project, Spyder Anaconda has been used: it is an open-source cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) for scientific programming in the Python language and libraries as Keras and Tensorflow.
